27-year old power forward Svenja Greunke (188-F/C-89) had an amazing evening in the last round for Marburg and receives a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 11.She had the game-high 27 points adding eight rebounds for Marburg in her team's victory, helping them to beat Halle (#9, 3-7) in overtime 86-77. Marburg is placed at 4th position in German DBBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Marburg will need more victories to improve their 7-4 record. It's Greunke's second year at Marburg and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Svenja Greunke averages this season 11.8ppg and 6.8rpg.

Second best performed player last round was Angela Pace (178-PG-87) of Bad Aibling. She is American guard in her first season at Bad Aibling. In the last game Pace recorded impressive double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds. Of course she led Bad Aibling to another comfortable win outscoring Donau-Ries (3-8) 87-58. The game was between two teams which are definitely not main contenders for the title. But Bad Aibling managed to improve slightly their position in standings taking 10th place. 8 lost games are too many comparing to just three victories Bad Aibling managed to get this year. Pace is a newcomer at Bad Aibling and despite she is not a team leader yet, every game she becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Quenese Davis (170-PG-88) of league's second-best Keltern. Davis showcased her all-around game by recording 18 points, five rebounds and five assists in the last round. She was a key player of Keltern, leading her team to a 81-68 easy win against the lower-ranked Herner (#5, 6-5). Keltern is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 8-2 record is not that bad... Davis has a very solid season. In 9 games in Germany she scored 8.2ppg.

The Player of the week is chosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues.

The 29-year old guard had a double-double of 32 points and seventeen rebounds, while her team lost the game against Bad Hombur (#3, 6-3) 69-83.

Naturalized Bulgarian Gergana Georgieva (181-G-87) had an amazing evening in the last round for Mainz and that's her to receive a Eurobasket.com 2.Bundesliga Player of the Week award for round 11.The 29-year old guard had a double-double of 32 points and seventeen rebounds, while her team lost the game against Bad Hombur (#3, 6-3) 69-83. Mainz maintains the 10th position in their group in German 2.Bundesliga. The season is in a full swing, so it's only a dream for the team to make it into top half of the standings. For contrary they may face relegation if the situation turns from bad to worse. Mainz have already lost 8 games and recorded just two victories. In the team's last game Georgieva had a remarkable 76.5% from 2-point range. She turned to be Mainz's top player in her first season with the team. Georgieva has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (7th best: 18.0ppg) and averages solid 2.7spg and 59.6% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 24-year old American forward Alli Gloyd (185-F-92) of league's best team Wolfenbuettel. Gloyd impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 24 points and 14 rebounds. It was enough for Wolfenbuettel to edge slightly lower-ranked Goettingen (#3, 8-2) by 1 point 70-69. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the top position in North. Wolfenbuettel consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. Her team belongs to top of the standings with 10-1 record and is considered one of the main candidates for the league title. Gloyd is a newcomer at Wolfenbuettel and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.1ppg (#6). She also registered 10.7 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was American Sarah Olson (173-G/F-93) of Gruenberg (#7). Olson got into 30-points club by scoring 37 points in the last round. She was a key player of Gruenberg, leading her team to a 72-59 easy win against the lower-ranked Barmer TV (#11, 1-10). Gruenberg needs these victories very badly if they think about getting closer to top teams in North. Their record at this point is 6 victories and 5 lost games. Olson has a great season in Germany. After 10 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 20.3ppg (3rd best).
